Childrens Hospital Primary Care Center (CHPCC) | Other services

Here at Boston Children's Primary Care at Longwood, we focus on the whole child and the whole family. Some of the other services we offer include:

Our Asthma Action Team helps children with asthma live normal, healthy lives. Talk to your doctor, or one of our nurses, to find out if a visit with the Asthma Action Team would be a good idea for your child.

In the One Step Ahead (OSA) Program, doctors, nurses, a nutritionist and a psychologist work together to help children get to, and stay at, a healthy weight.

Adolescent mothers and fathers can get primary care along with their children, as well as social support, through our Young Parents Program (YPP).

The Rainbow Program helps families of children with many or severe health problems. Our nurse practitioners and social workers work closely with our primary care providers and the specialists at Boston Children's to help keep these children healthy--and support their families.

We know that navigating systems like the medical or educational system isn't easy. That's why we have a Patient Navigator who can help. Talk to your doctor or one of our nurses if you think this service could help you!

Health isn't only physical--mental health is just as important. We offer behavioral health services such as counseling for our patients, and can also help refer you to counseling and other services in your community. If you are interested in this, talk to your doctor or ask to speak to one of our social work staff.

Being at the doctor can be scary--and it's not always easy to keep children occupied and happy while they wait to see the doctor. That's why we have Child Life services and volunteers ready to help! Our Child Life staff has special training in helping children through difficult experiences, and our activities and volunteers can make waiting fun.

All young children need car safety seats--but not all families can easily afford them, or know how to use them. That's why we offer car safety seats and trainings for families. Talk to one of our staff if you are interested.

Our Financial Services staff is available to help you through the health insurance application process. Let us know if you need assistance.

Boston Children's Hospital has been named the #1 children's hospital in the nation by U.S. News and World Report for the fifth year in a row! It's an honor that we could not have achieved without you. On behalf of every member of our Boston Children's team, thank you for inspiring us to be bolder, dream bigger, and make the impossible possible for our patients and families.
